Calm Down

A Poem by Lizardo

Explosion burst in tears

That drop like raindrops

From the fallen ones

And you are there watching the horrow

Pass through your eyes

Stuck in numbness

and the secrets that didn't come out

(explosions keep on coming from the bombs)

You start running like there is no tomorrow

You fall through a clif

(the bombs coming closer shaking earth)

You can't move! you see only darkness then

You blackout....

And youre memories start opening like a rose in the morning

Some of them happy some of them not

Watching how your life pases by in second

Then you wake up

Slowly opening your eyes

And you see only the field and the a white light

The Pain falling down

And the pieces of aircrfats destroy

And you see a man walkin towards you

who's words echoe throught the field

Calm down...

Calm down..

Calm down

i like the repetition of "calm down"

it's almost like getting reprimanded, and yet with those explosions....in the end, there is a light.

we see the end, and hopefully can leave this earth with some kind of contentment and knowledge that we have balanced the ledger.

Really cool piece of writing here. The imagery was soooooooo vivid and stark. I love you you were able to successfully portray a theme reflecting war and destruction but have a wide variety of interpretations to this one piece. Good job. Keep up the good work.
